This is a loaded question Due to high error rates by PSA/DNA, JSA and GAI, their opinions don't include to prove or serve to prove the authenticity. In other words the opinion of the examiner is a belief which may be considered a strong impression and less stronger than positive knowledge. If this wasn't true all certificates of authenticity would read, unconditionaly guaranteed authentic or your money back. Most of the time they get it right. I like autographs and I would have no problem with the services of Richard Simon or JSA. Here is my experience with JSA and why they might make mistakes. I attended a card show and submitted a baseball to Spence. The ball had eighteen signatures, Babe Ruth, Lefty Gomez was my big concern. I paid him $200.00 up front. I came back One Hour and twenty minutes. The ball was done and they said it was good. Does any one think that ball went through a vigorous examination. How long should it take a professional person or persons to authenticate eighteen faded signatures. I believe much longer then JSA did.
